Four healthy scratches pepper inactive list for Chiefs

by Marty Gitlin | CBSSports.com

(12/14/14) The Chiefs report more healthy scratches than injured players on their Sunday injury report. The three who are ailing are wideout Donnie Avery (groin), cornerback Phillip Gaines (concussion) and defensive end Allen Bailey (concussion).

The Chiefs drafted rookie quarterback Aaron Murray in the fifth round of the NFL Draft from Georgia, and he will look to be No. 2 on the depth chart behind Alex Smith. Murray will have to beat out Chase Daniel for the job, but even if he is the backup he would have minimal Fantasy value barring an injury to Smith. Murray is also coming off a torn ACL in November, and his injury could leave him behind Smith and Daniel to open the season. He has minimal Fantasy value in seasonal leagues, and Murray is only worth a late-round flier in deep rookie-only formats. It is unlikely he would start for the Chiefs in 2015 even if Smith is gone as a free agent.
